presented a Power Point, which is attached to and incorporated into these minutes.
Zach Graeve, Design & Marketing, Iler Planning Group, also spoke during the presentation.
Laurence Leeds, AICP, Director of Community Development, confirmed this is a City-wide
review which will include the TOD/TOC.
Mr. Iler responded to Commissioner Castro that they would meet with all community groups for
guidance in the process. They want 10 get people involved; get to know the history of each area;
and get different views within each sub-group in order to reach consensus to have one code for
the whole City.
Mr. Iler explained for Vice-Mayor Jones the process to use the proposed Web-based file transfer
system. He confirmed this feature is included in their cost.
/
Mr. Iler reassured Commissioner Flury that the project would be completed within the 10-12
month timeframe. He noted they have established strategies that have never been used befbre.
These will keep them on track through direct communication and coordinalion with stali
Michele Mellsren & Associates,Inc.
Michele Mellgren, Principal, The Mellgren Planning Group, introduced the members of her team
and presented a Power Point, which is attached to and incorporated into these minutes.
Sasha Forbes, Planner and Community Outreach Specialist, described the community outreach
approach.
Jeffrey Katims, AICP, Senior Associate, addressed some of the problems with the current City
Code. He indicated the code update would be a l4 month process, depending on the number of
public meetings. They will address the marine issues and the County-City zoning dif'terences,
develop strategies lor outreach and public participation and finally determine how the code
would best be organized.
Ms. Mellgren advised her firm would provide new software that would be uploaded to the City
Website, at no additional cost to the City. She explained how people would be able to look at
their specific zoning information through our Web page. Ms. Mellgren advised they would be
willing to market this product through the Dania Press or any other way to get the word out to
Dania Beach residents.
Mayor Anton suggested the City Manager and City Attomey work with both firms to see what
financial arrangements could be made.
Commissioner Flury felt comfortable with both companies; however, she would like to see us
use someone new. She does not want to delay this project anymore and would prefer to make a
decision tonight. Commissioner Flury was impressed with the creativity of the Mellgren
Planning Group.
Commissioner Castro noted both companies were excellent, and she was impressed with the
Mellgren Planning Group.
Director Leeds noted that he would prefer to come back with a recommendation on December
11,2007.
Commissioner Bertino noted they were both experienced companies. He thought the Mayor had
the best idea to let the City Manager talk with both groups and come back with a
recommendation.

Mr. Iler responded to Mayor Anton that they would be willing to look at lowering the cost of
meetings.
Vice-Mayor Jones indicated that he was leaning toward the Iler Group, and that he was
impressed with the Mellgren Planning Group. He pointed out that some of the Iler Group
members were not present tonight, so his decision tonight would be Michele Mellgren and
Associates.

lacking the marine industry portion, which is very important for our City. Mayor Arton was
more impressed with the presentation by the Mellgren Group and the fact that they were all
present tonight.
